NY LAWMAKERS PROPOSE CONDITIONING FEDERAL FUNDING ON MONITORING OF ANTISEMITISM

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) is seen during an enrollment ceremony for The
Respect for Marriage Act at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Thursday,
December 8, 2022.

Two New York lawmakers are proposing legislation that could condition federal
funding for universities to stricter monitoring of on-campus antisemitism.

Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) plan to introduce the
College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and
Accountability (COLUMBIA) Act, in the wake of pro-Palestinian encampments,
protests and arrests on college campuses nationwide.



The bill would allow the Department of Education to create a third-party monitor
for antisemitic activity on college campuses that receive federal funding. The
legislation was first reported by Jewish Insider.

Torres said in a statement announcing the bill that college antisemitism since
Hamas invaded Israel on Oct. 7 has been “at an all-time high” and “American
universities are not capable of handling it when left to their own devices.”

Torres said there are “blatant violation[s] of Jewish students’ civil rights”
happening at schools across the country and the federal government “cannot allow
this to continue unchecked.”

Protests at Manhattan’s Columbia University have been underway for over a week.
More than 100 protesters have been arrested for setting up encampments with
dozens of tents. The school later moved all of its classes to a hybrid learning
style for the remainder of the semester.

Students at many other schools across the country have begun protesting and
creating encampments like Columbia’s. Torres said Columbia’s protest won’t be
“an isolated incident” and is instead the “straw that has broken the camel’s
back” and he is “prepared to do something about it.”

He urged his colleagues in the House to join him, saying Jewish students feel
unsafe as a result of their religious and ethnic identity, which is a “blatant
violation of Title VI.”



“Jewish students have told my office that they feel completely abandoned by
their university administrations and they view Congress as the only avenue for
accountability and safety,” his statement said.

In the release, Lawler said he is proud to work with Torres on the legislation.

“If colleges will not step up to protect their students, Congress must act,”
Lawler’s statement said.



Lawler and other House Republicans from New York this week called on the
president of Columbia University to resign.
